Although she didn't know about LeBlanc and Vladimir's conspiracy, nor did she hear Jarvan IV's sigh in the dark night, Lux had a vague feeling in Forsbarrow.
After this separation, I am afraid that the relationship between me and Jarvan IV will never be the same again.
What a pity, Jarvan IV was obviously a good person.
However, not many people actually know about the break between Lux and Jarvan IV - at least the trade between Forsbarrow and the Capital is still booming.
No one has trouble with money.
As the main buyer of Golden Wheel Stones, every time a Shurima trade ship arrives at the port, the Forsbarrow Chamber of Commerce will spend real money and silver to buy most of the Golden Wheel Stones. In addition, Sambor usually leaves
The next considerable deposit will be used to ensure that the Golden Wheel Stone will be purchased from the next Shurima Trade Fair.
In this way, the sale of gold wheel stones has almost become the most stable link in Shurima trade, quickly filling the royal family's wallet.
However, Jinlun Stone is a relatively precious ore after all, and it is also difficult to excavate. After many acquisitions, the production capacity of Jinlun Stone has become somewhat limited.
The residents of Jinlun Town cannot handle that much coarse ore.
When the caravan arrived again to purchase the Jinlun Stone, the elders of Jinlun Town simply took him to the mine.
"Want a golden wheel stone? Dig it yourself."
It is definitely impossible to dig it yourself.
Considering the limited transportation capacity, it is not practical to directly purchase raw ore.
In desperation, Barrett could only negotiate with Sambol personally to restrict the purchase of golden wheel stones.
In this regard, Sambol was easy to talk about - he can continue to pay the deposit and extend the delivery time, but the trade of golden wheel stones cannot be stopped. You can provide as much as you can.
Both parties happily reached an agreement.
Then, just when everything seemed normal and everything seemed to be good for you and me, Kalya took action personally.
As for Kalya's personal action, it started with two noisy visitors from Forsbarrow.
In the early winter of the thirteenth year of the Forsbarrow calendar, when the first snow turned the city of Forsbarrow white, Lux was preparing for the winter speech a few days later.
Just as she was reciting her speech silently, someone suddenly knocked on her window.
You know, Lux lives on the second floor - there was a knock on the second floor window, which is a bit strange.
So, when she looked up at the window, Lux's hand also lit up with a faint light.
Then, on the windowsill, Lux saw two bald crows.
"Quack, open your window!" One of the bald crows raised its head proudly, "Welcome your respected brother Shabeka!"
"And your kind sister, Sabek." The other bald crow was not to be outdone, "It's you, yes, I like your reaction!"
Looking at the two crows who claimed to be her brother Shabeka and sister Shabek, Lux almost thought she was hallucinating - even a shapechanger would find it difficult to appear in the form of a crow. Could this be
Whose pet?
Well, wait, Shabeka, Shabeka... why do these two names seem a bit familiar?
Narrowing her eyes slightly, Lax thought for a moment, and soon remembered some interesting stories that Kalya had told herself while waiting for the night to turn completely dark in the Dashai Desert.
In one of them, the protagonists are Shabeka and Shabek.
"So, you are the only two ascendants who became crazy because you could not bear the power of ascension?" Lux opened her mouth to silence the two noisy crows, "The bald spots on your bodies are caused by each other.
Is it caused by hair pulling?”
This is the biggest dark history of Shabeka and Shabek.
……………………
As brothers and sisters who ascended at the same time, Shabeka and Shabek are not known for their strength among many ascendants.
Can it even be said that among all the ascended ones, they should all be considered aliens.
Shabeka and Shabek are very rare people who are truly aware of [destiny].
Of course, the "sense of destiny" mentioned here does not mean that Shabeka and Shabek can predict the future.
The greatest application of this fuzzy induction is nothing more than conditional deduction.
In other words, when you have doubts and doubts, you can find Shabeka and Shabek and propose the choices you are struggling with, and then they will show you different possible options based on the ripples of fate.
future.
Although it is only a possible future, for people who are in confusion, this level of help is enough to guide the direction.
However, being able to sense the clues of destiny does not mean that one is strong enough, and Kalya's experience has proven that it will be quite troublesome for a person who is not strong enough to become an ascendant.
Even if the two of them ascended together, the huge power of ascension still caused the brother and sister to fall into a brief daze just like Kalya who had reluctantly accepted the power of ascension.
But Kalya's absence was at best in coma, and it took two days for him to wake up. Apart from worrying, there was no other problem; but as observers of fate, Shabeka and Shabek's absence directly affected them.
The aftermath of the ascension ceremony turned into an accident scene.
The body that lost control temporarily turned into a doll of fate, showing off their research on fate without any scruples.
According to eyewitnesses, Shabeka and Shabek would start to imitate whoever they were looking at at that time, like puppets, and talk about the other person's possible fate.
Shabeka says a good possibility, Shabek says a bad possibility, and vice versa.
Unlike when you consult them normally, this kind of derivation of fate has no restrictions, so most of it is extremely absurd.
But because Shabeka and Shabek were indeed favored by fate, these absurd stories fell into the ears of everyone, but they were inexplicably somewhat believable.

A confident rising political star may choose to climb Mount Targon in order to prove himself, only to fall into a deep valley, be shattered into pieces, and be quickly forgotten; but it is also possible that as a messenger, he can accomplish something that is difficult for ordinary people to persevere.
He was qualified to ascend due to his mission and became one of the ascended ones.
The old-school warrior who wants to save face may drown in the toilet in disgrace, turning his carefully prepared funeral into a joke; but it is also possible that when planning the funeral, he may fall on the way to charge because he was trying to prevent evil, leaving unprepared people behind.
The funeral became extra grand.
A beautiful woman may become a disaster because of her beauty, swallowed up by her own desires in the whirlpool, and commit suicide in despair when she is old and beautiful; but she may also regard beauty as a small label for herself, and when she reaches the age of old age, she may
, and pulled it off easily with great magnanimity.
A diligent clerk may remain unknown all his life, and when he grows old he can only comb his few hair in front of the mirror to cover his bald head as much as possible; but he may also choose to follow the wind during the rough days and choose a Highland dog.
Animals with thick hair on their heads serve as images of ascension.
…
…
Shabeka and Shabek acted out the mockery of fate unscrupulously. Some of the people named became angry while others were thoughtful.
But the most unlucky ones were Shabeka and Shabek themselves. After they got into the performance mode, they imitated not only the movements, but also the images - when they woke up, their bodies were covered with strange paint.
, wearing all kinds of clothes, most of his hair was torn off, and his ascended body even had multiple injuries.
Later, although most of the people named by Shabeka and Shabek did not follow the path of their interpretation, if they are careful to observe, perhaps many times, people will find that destiny exists in some trivial details.
Considerable degree of similarity.
When they were in the desert of Dasai, Lux once asked Kalya what fate was.
That time, Kalya did not give a direct answer, but told the story of Shabeka and Shabek, focusing on the people who were portrayed by them and their subsequent choices.
The rising star in the political arena did not climb Mount Targon, nor did he become an Ascended One. He always maintained the self-confidence that ordinary people could not match. He always rushed to do everything first but often acted too hastily. Later, he thought he could hide it from everyone when he was trying to get things done, which ultimately led to
self-destruction.
The death of an old-school soldier was neither glorious nor a joke, but even at the last moment of his life, he still insisted on his past habits. Even if it was very difficult to breathe, he insisted on buttoning the first button.
Organize all your pockets.
The beautiful woman finally chose to be ordinary. When she grew old and had fun with her grandson, her grandson dug out an old painting in the storage room and asked her who the beautiful sister on it was. His smile was on his old face.
The face bloomed, just like the charm of youth.
The diligent clerk persisted all his life. Even though he did become bald later, he was still very respected. He did not become a big shot until he died of illness. After leaving his job, he kept two Highland dogs to accompany him.
Every day is very fulfilling.
This story left a deep impression on Lux. It was the first time she had a vague understanding of fate and choice.
Therefore, when Shabeka and Shabek reported their names, she quickly remembered it, and then subconsciously followed Kalya's tone and brought up the topic of alopecia areata.
……………………
What surprised Lacus was that even though she had mentioned the dark history of Shabeka and Shabek, the two crows only stayed quiet for a few minutes before quacking again.
"That's right!"
"It's her, it's her!"
"That's the energy!"
"You'll reveal your shortcomings when you open your mouth!"
"I was originally afraid of finding the wrong person."
"Now it looks like it's you."
"It's possible to learn so much."
"You must have seen him."
"Tell the truth, Laxana."
"Tell us, where is Kalya?"
After singing in harmony, the two crows no longer asked Lux to open the window, but directly stated their purpose. They believed that Lux had seen Kalya, so they asked Lux to tell them where Kalya was.
This time, before Lux could answer, a burst of fine sand molded into Kalya's form.
At the same time, the window was opened, and a mask was placed on the face of Kalya made of fine sand.
"Ah ha, Sabek, Sabek, long time no see." Kalya's voice was very gentle, "I heard Aatrox mention you... It seems that your condition is much better than what he said."
"We are not him." Shabeka flapped his wings and landed on Karya's left shoulder. "We have not gone deep into the front line. We can cut off the strength of a strong man."
"We haven't been nudged by sheep." Shabek landed on Kalya's right shoulder. "Although the ascended body cannot leave, the pure part can be used and has freedom!"
"Is this peeling off the erosion?" Kalya looked at the two crows carefully, "But to be honest, the life is a bit rough. The bald hair makes the ascended person look like a loser - wait, there seems to be something wrong.
!”
"There must be something wrong, there must be something wrong!" Shabeka shouted, "We felt the call of fate and wanted to find you, but in Shurima, we met some bastards!"
"It's not a few, it's a group." Sabek added, "They tried to repeat the fate of the past and make Shurima great again. We were almost caught and drained!"
"Actually, it's not like being drained dry. At most, it's just being plucked." Shabeka corrected, "The fool gave up his body, hoping to cover the sleeper with the feathers of the ascended one."
This kind of incomprehensible expression made the ignored Lux confused. She couldn't understand what Shabeka and Shabeka were talking about.
But Kalya seemed to understand their words, and the mask narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Even among the fates we have seen, that is crazy!" Shabeka and Shabek chorused, "Playing with the power of ascension on your own, trying to reverse the immortality of life and death, Kalya, Kal
Ya, you should take care of your unscrupulous descendants!"
Hearing this, Lux finally understood.
"Is it Azir?"
"Do you know Azir?" Shabeka tilted her head in confusion, "You know all this?"
"Kalya, have you told all this?" Shabek's tone became even higher, "He hates bringing up the Shurima royal family's affairs -"
"Shut up and be quiet for a while." Before Lux could answer, Kalya spoke first, "Let me think about it."
Shabeka and Shabek simultaneously raised their bald wings and covered their beaks.
Lux stopped talking.
The room became quiet, with only the whistling wind blowing snowflakes and mixing them with the yellow sand.
"Maybe I should go to Shurima." After a while, when Lux was already thinking about whether she should say something, Kalya finally said, "Call Ino and let her come with me.
By the way, we also dealt with the trouble in Jinlun Town."
